All weather floor mats are a must though as willow color fabric mats won't last. The willow isn't as sporting looking (far more luxury looking), but it doesn't show scratches or dust. The leather holds up a lot better as if it were a different grade. The 05/06 Wheat interior is crappy. It's much lighter than the Willow and shows wear far worse.
+1'd. My car was well taken care of, but not in the enthusiast sense before I owned it. With 76k on the odo when I bought it, the leather still looks phenomenal. It has the obvious trademarked wear on the left bolster in the driver seat where you slide in, but other than that it all looks incredible. The only thing I DON'T like about the Willow interior is that it seems to show "cracks" in the leather a lot more than charcoal.

Love the 03/04 reverse lights with the newer tails.

I recently picked up a pair of 06 tails for $175 and am debating to change out the reverse lights or keep the 03. I think removing red(lines) out of them make it flow much better with the 05/06 tails. Do you have any straight on pics?

I plan to buy coupe seats regardless. My last two cars have had black leather and since the G is a summer car. Black leather at 100 degrees sucks reeeeal bad.
